Episode 24- Back to the Basics

Traveling with a good buddy or two can be amazing. Traveling by one’s self can be daunting, or a blast, depending on your mindset. Jake and I had been traveling together for a few months straight, and I decided it was time to strike out on my own and see what El Salvador had to offer. We had reached a point where each of us wanted to do something different, and seeing some sights by myself seemed like a great idea.

It was almost like we were dating and I was asking Jake for a “break” (of course I didn't want to break up). Of course, this can be quite sketchy in Central America where there is a safety in numbers thing going on, but all of this was ignored when I decided that the time to split had come. I had spent the better part of a year in South East Asia traveling around solo, and there is something to be said for the independence associated with that sort of a trip. It forces you to get out there, meet new people, try new things, and as you’ll see in Episode 24, Back to the Basics, things can get a little weird!
